What Keeps Peter Ward Up At Night

  • 6 years ago
Climate change makes the extinction expert toss and turn.

Question: What keeps you up at night?
Peter Ward: The greatest single threat to us, again, is this rapid global warming, in the sense that I am really kept up at night worrying about the slowing of the circulation systems of the oceans and kept up at night worrying a great deal about sea level rise.
I have a book coming out called, Our Rising Sea, or Our Flooded World, I haven't finished it yet. We're doing a TV show about it; we'll start filming in March. But even two meters, but after being in Antarctica, look we've **** Antarctica we've got 240 feet of sea level rise. So where I'm sitting here in Manhattan is about 100 feet under water. There's just going to be a whole change in geography of this planet due to industrialized humans. I think there's no stopping it.Recorded on January 11, 2010Interviewed
